Author/Contributor(s): Michaux, Henri; Paz, Octavio; Varèse, Louise Publisher: NYRB Classics Date: 4/30/2002 Binding: Paperback Condition: NEW "This book is an exploration. By mean s of words, signs, drawings. Mescaline, the subject explored." In Miserable Miracle, the great French poet and artist Henri Michaux, a confirmed teetotaler, tells of his life-transforming first encounters with a powerful hallucinogenic drug. At once lacerating and weirdly funny, challenging and Chaplinesque, his book is a breathtaking vision of interior space and a piece of stunning writing wrested from the grip of the unspeakable.Includes forty pages of black-and-white drawings.
